2022 Christmas Radio Stations Thread
Rothman:
Around here, the stations that go Christmas play the same cycle of about ten songs over and over. I actually like Christmas music in the season; the lack of variety stinks.

That's definitely not the case now, and I don't think it was the case back when it was 105.7 rather than 106.7 doing it. (The switch happened when 106.7 was owned by 105.7, and 105.7 would even periodically say to listen to 106.7 for Christmas music the year they switched.) It started about a week ago. 96.1 started on maybe November 4 or so, while 104.9, when it existed, started on somewhere around the 10th.

KDGE-Star 102.1 in Dallas, TX started their Christmas music rotation on November 10th. They can be streamed on Audacy, although at that point, I would rather be streaming from either my Plex media server, Amazon Music, or Apple Music.

There’s a 106.7 HD station (106.7-2 on my car radio) that has played Christmas music for a while, definitely before Halloween.

So here is a list of songs that 104.9 played that I haven't heard on the radio anywhere else, comparing 1 year of 104.9 to 6+ years of 96.1, 105.7, and 106.7 combined. This list is almost guaranteed to contain errors, but it's the best I have.

Still missing and non-religious
